Chapter Twenty-Seven: Standing Still

Previous Chapter

Time is like flowing water, and the years go by.

In the blink of an eye, a winter is coming to an end.

Some people say that time can prove everything, but in fact, time can't change anything, it will only make people older and their sideburns whiter. This is an excuse for many people, thinking that their situation will get better after a while, which is impossible.

This winter, Xuanyuan Wentian has been studying and practicing hard, and he has not slackened at all. But every time I cultivate, it's like a purgatory, I can't break through that bottleneck, and my rank is always the first stage of Xuanling, and there is no progress at all.

It stands to reason that he is so talented and intelligent that he should not stand still, but the reality is like this.

The pace of winter is coming to an end, and the spring breeze is blowing in the past few days, but it is colder than winter.

The spring breeze blows the willow leaves, the snow in winter is melting, and everything is gradually waking up under the caress of the spring breeze. All kinds of flowers and plants on Lingshan are purple and red, and all kinds of wild flowers bloom all over the mountain, which can be seen in people's hearts.

"Master, what are you busy with?" Xuanyuan asked Tian to find Jin Chan, trying to get the master to give him some pointers.

"I'm sorting out the new year's curriculum, and the Taihe Hall will start school in a few days, what's the matter with you?" Jin Chan was busy sorting out the copywriting on the table, and didn't look up at him.

"Master!" Xuanyuan asked, clenching his fists. This is the basic etiquette of Lingshan disciples to their predecessors, and if they have any questions, they must bow to them.

Jin Chan looked at Xuanyuan and asked the sky, this child had spent the winter alone, and he seemed to have grown up a lot.

"What's wrong, ask God?"

"Master, I have been cultivating spiritual power all winter, and I dare not slack off in the slightest, but every time I finish cultivating, the test stone still shows that the Xuan Ling is at the beginning of a period, and there is no progress at all. Ever since I had a rank, I have been like this for several months, and my disciple is dull, and I still hope that the master will give me some advice. Xuanyuan asked the heavens and trembled, waiting for the master to punish him.

Jin Chan saw that this kid lowered his head, and his appearance was very sincere.

"Why are you so anxious?" Jin Chan asked.

"Master, the disciple hopes to win the top of the fighting spirit at the coming-of-age ceremony, and I also hope that the master will be accomplished. ”

"The leader of the fighting spirit?" Jin Chan paused for a moment, this kid is delusional, the leader of the fighting spirit of the spirit clan is a supreme honor, that is the laurel that the young people of the spirit race want to get, and the ordinary people of the human race want to get this title, I really don't know how thick the sky is.

"Why do you want to get the Dou Qi Leader?" Jin Chan asked rhetorically.

Xuanyuan Wentian pondered for a while, and said: "Master, the disciple wants to prove that the human race is no worse than the spirit race, and the spirit race despises the human race, and I want to fight for the human race." ”

"Huh. Jin Chan sneered.

"Silly boy, you're delusional. You are now ten years old, and you will be an adult in another six or seven years, how can you cultivate your spiritual power to perfection in a short period of time, this is impossible. It took me a hundred years to go from the first stage of Xuanling to the intermediate level, and then it took more than three hundred years to practice from the first stage of the Xuanling intermediate level to the second stage of the Xuanling level. Now the young people of the Spirit Clan who are about to become adults are generally at the beginning of the second stage of the Xuanling Stage, and very few of them have reached the third stage of the Xuanling Spirit. If you want to catch up with the hundreds of years of cultivation of the Spirit Clan in six or seven years, can you think about it yourself?" Jin Chan said bitterly.

Xuanyuan Wentian heard the master say this, and his high morale was only six or seven points.

"Master, is there really no way?" Xuanyuan Wentian still had a little hope for himself.

"No, I told you that cultivating spiritual power is a long process, and you can't rush for quick success, too much of a rush will only lead to a situation from which you will fall into a state of no return. Even if you are extremely smart, but your lifespan is only a few decades, this is something that no one can change, you can cultivate with peace of mind all your life, at most you can reach the second stage of the Xuanling Spirit, and the master can't help you!"

Xuanyuan Wentian had a sad face, he knew that his longevity was limited, but he was unwilling.

"Master, I read in that ancient book that in this Kyushu, in addition to the spirit race, which can cultivate spiritual power for eternity, other races can also cultivate and achieve immortality, I don't know if it's true?"

Jin Chan put down the copywriting in his hand and glanced at it, what does this kid want to do?

"In which book have you seen it?" Jin Chan scolded.

"The disciple saw the "Chronicle of the Heavens" of the mermaid clan, which describes the origin and evolution of the creatures of Kyushu. The pursuit of immortality is the ultimate goal of the living beings in Kyushu, taking the cultivation of the Tao as an example, a small number of high priests of the mermaid clan have already cultivated the Tao, and they shine with the sun and the moon. Since the mermaid clan can cultivate the Tao, then the human race must also be able to, please ask the master to show the disciple a clear path. "Xuanyuan Wentian has memorized the content of the "Chronicles of the Heavens", and he is particularly concerned about the cultivation of the mermaid clan to achieve immortality, and he has been studying the cultivation path in addition to cultivating spiritual power throughout the winter, and he wants to live forever.

Jin Chan's request to Xuanyuan Wentian felt that it was very ridiculous, and no one in the human race had been able to cultivate the Dao. Time is ethereal to the Spirit Race, as if time can't change anything. But it is different for the Terrans, time will not only make the Terrans look old, but also weaken their minds. The human race wants to cultivate and attain the Tao, and there is no one before.

"Ask the heavens, you know that only the spirit clan in this world can cultivate spiritual power and live with the sky, and only a few people in the mermaid clan can cultivate the power of jade to achieve immortality. No one in the human race has ever been able to attain the Dao, even if he cultivates the power of the Xuan Ming throughout his life, he can only delay aging, and if he wants to attain the Tao of immortality, I don't think it is possible. You better go back and study hard, don't waste time on cultivating, and you can go home after the coming-of-age ceremony!" Jin Chan explained, he wanted Xuanyuan to ask God to retreat.

"Master, since I can't cultivate the Dao, then I want to go to Uncle Jin Mu to become an alchemist?"

"Alchemist?" Jin Chan's eyes widened.

"Yes, since my longevity is limited, it is better to be an alchemist, learn a little medical knowledge, and save the dead and help the injured when I return home, which is better than this cultivation spiritual power. Even if I study hard and practice hard, I won't achieve much in six or seven years, so please Master accomplish it!"

Jin Chan stood up and circled around Xuanyuan Wentian a few times.

The alchemist is only competent by the outstanding talents of the Spirit Clan, which is related to the life and death of the Spirit Clan.

The Spirit Race people don't get sick, what kind of alchemist do they need?

"Ask the heavens, you know that we Spirit Race people will not get sick, even if you become an alchemist, it will not help, the meridians of the human race are different from those of the Spirit Race, even if you learn alchemy, you can't cure the human race. That alchemist is just a fictitious position, and you won't be able to learn anything when you go to the Xianghe Palace! You are gifted and intelligent, why don't you study the scriptures hard and become a great Confucian?"

"How can it be a false job? Last time I was lucky enough to almost go mad, it was only after taking the Obscure Ming Pill refined by Uncle Jin Mu that I came back to life, I didn't have any intentions, I just wanted to be a useful person. Xuanyuan asked the heavens to understand why the master insisted on blocking him from going to the Hall of Harmony.

Hearing Xuanyuan Wentian say this, Jin Chan scolded him angrily.

"Kneel!" Jin Chan was furious, he hadn't lost his temper in a long time.

Xuanyuan Wentian knelt on the ground, waiting for the master to leave.

"Alchemist is the most confidential profession of my Spirit Clan, and it is related to the danger of the Spirit Clan! You are just a Terran child, it is impossible for you to become an alchemist. The reason why young Spirit Clan disciples were selected from my Taihe Hall to go to the Xianghe Hall was to cultivate alchemists. There are more than 30,000 people in the Spirit Clan, and only thirty of them can become alchemists, and these people are extremely talented and have a variety of attributes in their bodies. You ordinary man, let's dispel this thought!" Jin Chan was out of breath and angry.

......

Xuanyuan Wentian said goodbye to the master and asked Tianlou back.
